What to do and see in Zona Sul (South Zone), State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ): The Best Performances

May 17, 2022 Enedina Augsburger

With its plentiful beaches, dramatic mountains, and backdrop of samba and bossa nova rhythms, it's easy to fall in love with Rio de Janeiro. Made famous in song, Ipanema Beach is still the place to stroll, sunbathe, and be seen. The largest Art Deco statue in the world, Christ the Redeemer, beckons visitors to Corcovado Mountain. Rio’s annual Carnaval celebrations are bacchanalian extravaganzas of feasting, music, dance, and costumed revelry.

Just loved the show and seeing all the different cultures and regions of Brazil. Dancing was great and my son got up on stage on the final act with the whole cast. Put this on your list of things to do and you will not be disappointed.

The Plataforma Samba Show represents the rhythmic and colorful dances of Brazilian folklore, often featuring the prior year's Carnival winning Samba school dancers. There is the option to have dinner before the show, but the real attraction is the Samba dance performances.
